I thought EBC was pretty against the use of drilled rotors? I know mine are slotted (waiting to install them because apparently there's still a ton of meat on my stock pads after 60,000 KM. Don't ask me how, I have no idea.)

Love the lugs! Could you share their name ? I need to replace mine because aesthetics and more HP .. Lol

Nice on the pads/rotors. Anyone have experience/thoughts on the Wilwood kit? Was saving up for that when my brakes needed replacing. If they will clear my wheels. Need to analyze that space required sheet they provide.

Had to add some extra stuff to my cart on Amazon and ran across OPT7 LED H11 bulbs. Instead of doing yellow laminix for the fogs I figured I would go this route, anyone have experience with these?

The are the NRG Extended lug nuts (800 series I think, the ones that don't have a key).

They are ok for the money, but they are aluminum and I have begun to track my fit so I am looking into steel lug nuts. But if you don't remove your wheels very often they should be fine for street use.

Waiz, one of the moderators, has the kit and I have heard he likes them.

You can check his build thread for more info.

I'll have to check out which kit he got, the 6-piston or 4-piston...and OEM rotor or 12" rotor. Thanks Mr. Hollow.

These didn't light up was well as I had hoped but with some further mods to the base I'm sure they'll light up much better.

Here are some I made for the Scion xB (Gen2)

Taking out all the masking tape,... it looks so much nicer







and once the paint completely dry, I will install this Honda Label...
now just put it on top of the Sprintex,...
and it looks PERFECT (well, I need to touch up some edges but other than that this is PERFECT so it looks like it came from Honda factory like that

Painted my brake calipers with the G2 brush on kit. It was really simple and the consistency of the paint was very easy to work with.

9/10 (only issue is paint gets everywhere, and it doesn't wash off even on your hands)

Hi Mr. Hollow, nice result, that caliper looks brand new
That G2 Paint is really strong, it also stayed on my finger for like 2 weeks
At least you have a Silver Finger/Hand,... while I am stuck with a Yellow Finger/Hand hahaha

Guys I need some help here. After 3 weeks of being in Europe, got back to the fit and now the dome light won't turn off no matter what. The brightness fluctuates slightly when I switch modes and it flickers while the car is running and the light is supposed to be off.

Thanks
